Less than 1% of recorded malignancies in men are related to breast cancer. In comparison to women who share similar risk factors, male breast cancer has a poorer prognosis which can be attributed to lack of awareness and late presentation. A 63 year old male presented to the surgery OPD with a rapidly enlarging swelling left breast for a duration of three months. Radiological findings were consistent with a BIRADS 4 likely neoplastic lesion in left breast. FNAC of the left breast lump was done and cytological findings were suggestive of breast carcinoma. Following this, the patient underwent left sided radical mastectomy and the histopathological findings were consistent with Mucinous Carcinoma of left breast

FNAC is an important diagnostic tool in diagnosing breast cancer in men and increased awareness can help in its early diagnosis. Mucinous carcinoma is a rare type of breast cancer in men and limited literature is available on this entity that impacts current disease management.
